My poor girl...she has a real doozer of a boo-boo!!Last night while we were over at Mom's, Baylee was out in the backyard and let out with a yelp. After that, she refused to put any weight on her left hind leg. She seemed to struggle through the night, letting out little yelps when she would try to adjust in her bed, and has continued to bear very little weight on it. So, I made the tough decision to take her to the vet this morning. You just never know with this dog...she's such a drama queen, is she really hurt, or just really playing it up?? But the last thing I wanted to do was have it get worse and end up with an emergency vet bill on a Sunday.
The diagnosis...an injured ligament in her little knee. They gave her a couple shots for the pain, which led her to promptly melt right into the rug, eyes glassy...kind of stoned. So, with some pain meds, anti-inflammatories, a lot of rest, and tons of TLC, hopefully she will be on the mend, here in her little healing area.
